Netflix Officially Confirms 'The Diplomat's Fate After 4 Seasons

Translate

A cinematic obsessive with the filmic palate of a starving raccoon, Rob London will watch pretty much anything once. With a mind like a steel trap, he's an endless fount of movie and TV trivia, borne from a misspent youth of watching monster movies on TV, perusing the sun-faded goods at the local video rental shop, and staining his fingers with ink from the Video Movie Guide. Areas of interest include science fiction, film noir, horror flicks, '70s disaster pictures, Bond movies, '90s action, giant robots, dinosaurs, super heroes, and the exuberantly schlocky output of Cannon Films. He also enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars when they're good, and maybe even more when they're bad. As a Canadian, he also has a vested interest in Canadian movies and TV shows, especially the cheesier ones dubbed "Canuxploitation."

An expert on Marvel Comics, he has also written for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and is a member of the Marvel Research Team. He can frequently be found pontificating on comic-book continuity or bemoaning the misfortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs on his Twitter account.

It was another season of twists and turns on The Diplomat. The Netflix political thriller series ended on another shocking cliffhanger, leaving viewers wondering if they'd just watched the show's series finale. Now, we have the answer.

Created by Debora Cahn (Homeland), The Diplomat follows career diplomat Kate Wyler (Keri Russell), the newly appointed US Ambassador to the United Kingdom, as she navigates complicated international relationships and her own rocky marriage to fellow diplomat Hal (Rufus Sewell). However, she soon finds herself in much rockier waters than she anticipated, as a deadly attack on a British warship turns out to be part of a much larger plot that threatens to shatter global alliances and bring the world to the brink of war.

The Diplomat's visa has been renewed; the series will return for season 5 on Netflix. The series is a consistent ratings and critical winner for the streamer.
